I’m undecided about this socks and slides thing. The prematurely middle-aged side of me that relishes wearing trainers for the comfort and practicality just as much as for the look is proper keen. However, I live in Shoreditch which is where many shoe crazes are born and so overworked that they eventually die. In the past few years, we’ve managed to kill off creepers, New Balance and AM1s, as well as 5-panel hats and half-mast jeans with no socks. Outside of the streetwear/adi-obsessive circles, this look is decidedly normcore - a word I both hate and don’t understand. Normcore is basically fashion for people who cba right? Whilst I’m an advocate of everything three-striped, maybe I should continue flogging the dead Air Max horse for a bit longer. Or just buy em when I move to Mile End.
